Ingredients:
1 cup: Nuts, finely chopped, walnuts, pecans, etc.
1 cup: Dates, finely chopped
2 cup: Sugar, granulated

Directions:
Boil a syrup of the sugar, water and Karo; stop as or before it

"disintegrate," then the nuts.
Wet a dish towel in cold water. Spoon the candy along the middle of
the towel in piles. Fold towel over; roll it, pressing firmly

never did, tho.)
